And it cannot be editable as long as the output is the result of some transformation of the macro content. It could be editable if the macro only applies some CSS styling and doesn't perform any transformation on the XDOM/DOM structure. Adding support for this particular type of macros would be nice but it's not trivial and poses some problems such as nested macros. It would require considerable changes in the way macros are implemented inside the WYSIWYG editor.
